چهره
When you're learning a new language like Persian, it's really helpful to start with words you'll use often. The word چهره (chehreh) is one of those essential words. It means 'face' and you'll hear it quite a bit in everyday conversations, just like in English. Learning words at the A2 level means you can start to describe basic things about people and their appearance. So, when you want to talk about someone's face, this is the word to use.
When talking about the human چهره (face), it often refers to the appearance or features. For example, someone might comment on a person's kind چهره, meaning their kind face or expression. It can also be used in a more abstract sense to describe the 'face' or public image of an organization or even a situation. So, while it literally means 'face,' it can extend to how something presents itself.
When talking about the human face in Persian, the most common and versatile word you'll encounter is چهره (chehreh). It refers to the front part of the head, encompassing features like the eyes, nose, and mouth. You can use it in various contexts, from describing someone's appearance to discussing expressions.
While there are other words like صورت (surat) which also means face, چهره often carries a slightly more formal or literary nuance, and can sometimes imply the overall impression or aspect of a person's face. For instance, you might use چهره when talking about someone's 'familiar face' or the 'expression on their face.' It's a fundamental word for describing people.
§ What 'chehre' means
- Definition
- The front part of a person's head; face.
The Persian word چهره (chehre) is a common noun you'll hear and use often. It refers to the human face, the part of your head where your eyes, nose, and mouth are. Think of it as the general term for 'face' in English.
او یک چهره آشنا دارد.
This translates to: "He has a familiar face." (oo yek chehre-ye âshnâ dârad.)
چهره او از خوشحالی میدرخشید.
This means: "Her face was glowing with happiness." (chehre-ye oo az khoshhâli miderakhshid.)
§ Similar words and when to use 'chehre'
While چهره is the most common word for 'face,' you might also encounter other words that are similar but have slightly different nuances. Let's look at some of them:
- صورت (soorat): This is another very common word for 'face.' In many contexts, it's interchangeable with چهره. However, 'صورت' can also mean 'form,' 'shape,' or 'figure.'
او صورت زیبایی دارد.
This means: "She has a beautiful face." (oo soorat-e zibâ-i dârad.)
- رخ (rokh): This word is a bit more poetic or literary than چهره or 'صورت.' You'll often find it in classical Persian poetry or more formal writing. It still means 'face,' but it carries a sense of grace or beauty.
رخسار او مانند ماه میدرخشید.
This translates to: "Her countenance (face) was shining like the moon." (rokhsâr-e oo mânand-e mâh miderakhshid.) Note that 'رخسار' (rokhsâr) is a derived form of 'رخ' often meaning 'cheeks' or the 'face' in a more expressive sense.
- پیکره (peykar-e): This word refers more to a 'figure,' 'statue,' or 'form' of a person, rather than just the face itself. While it relates to the overall physical appearance, it's not a direct synonym for 'face.'
So, when should you use چهره?
You should use چهره in most general situations where you would say 'face' in English. It's a versatile word that is widely understood and appropriate in both casual and slightly more formal settings.
For example, if you want to describe someone's expression, you can use چهره:
چهره غمگین او مرا ناراحت کرد.
This means: "His sad face made me upset." (chehre-ye ghamgin-e oo marâ nârahat kard.)
If you are talking about someone's appearance or features, چهره is a good choice:
او چهره زیبایی دارد.
This means: "He/She has a beautiful face." (oo chehre-ye zibâ-i dârad.)
In summary, while there are other words related to the face in Persian, چهره is a solid, go-to word for 'face' in almost all situations. 'صورت' is a very close second and often interchangeable, while 'رخ' adds a poetic touch for specific contexts.

Both 'چهره' and 'صورت' can translate to 'face' in English, leading to confusion about their specific nuances.
While 'چهره' generally refers to the visible, outer part of the face, often emphasizing features and expression, 'صورت' can refer to the entire anatomical structure of the face, and also has broader meanings like 'form' or 'shape'.
صورتت را بشور. (Surat-et ra beshur.) - Wash your face. (Focuses on the act of washing the physical surface.)
'رو' can mean 'face' in certain contexts, particularly when referring to the surface or front of something, which overlaps with the idea of 'چهره'.
'رو' is more general and can mean 'surface', 'front', or 'on'. When used for a person, it often implies a more abstract 'face' as in 'reputation' or 'honor', or simply the front of something. 'چهره' specifically refers to the human face.
روی میز (ruy-e miz) - The surface of the table. / روی تو سفید باد! (ruy-e to sefid baad!) - May your face be white! (An idiom meaning 'May you be honorable/respected!')

'سیما' often carries connotations of beauty, appearance, or a person's general look, especially in a more formal or artistic context. 'چهره' is more common and everyday.
سیمای او دلنشین بود. (Simay-e u delneshin bud.) - Her countenance was pleasing. (Emphasizes overall pleasant appearance.)
'رخ' is another word that translates to 'face', typically used in poetry or classical literature, making it potentially confusing with 'چهره'.
Similar to 'سیما', 'رخ' is a more elevated or archaic term for 'face', often used in romantic or poetic descriptions. 'چهره' is the standard modern word.
رخ زیبای تو (rokh-e zibay-e to) - Your beautiful face. (Common in classical Persian poetry.)
'پیکر' refers to the 'body' or 'figure', but its association with the physical form might lead some to connect it incorrectly with 'چهره'.
'پیکر' refers to the entire body or a statue/figure. 'چهره' is exclusively the face.
پیکر او نحیف بود. (Peykar-e u nahif bud.) - His body was thin.

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
The word چهره (chehre) is a common and versatile noun in Persian, primarily meaning 'face.' It's often used in formal and literary contexts, but also in everyday conversation. You can use it when talking about someone's appearance or expression. For example, you might say 'او چهره زیبایی دارد' (ū chehre-ye zībāyi dārad) which means 'She has a beautiful face.' It can also refer to the 'figure' or 'reputation' of someone, especially in more abstract senses, like 'چهرههای ماندگار' (chehre-hā-ye māndegār) meaning 'enduring figures' or 'luminaries.'
A common mistake for English speakers is confusing چهره (chehre) with other words that can also mean 'face,' such as صورت (surat). While both can mean 'face,' صورت is generally more common in everyday speech for the physical face, especially when talking about washing your face or putting on makeup. چهره often carries a slightly more formal or artistic connotation, referring to the overall visage or the impression a face conveys. For instance, you'd usually say 'صورتم را شستم' (suratam rā shostam - I washed my face), not 'چهرهام را شستم'. However, when talking about someone's facial expression or their 'look,' چهره is perfectly appropriate. Another mistake is mispronouncing the 'ch' sound, which is like the 'ch' in 'church.' Make sure to aspirate it correctly.

10 सवालThe most common and direct way to say 'face' in Persian is چهره (chehreh).

The pronunciation is 'cheh-reh'. The 'ch' is like in 'chair', the first 'e' is like in 'bed', and the 'reh' is like 're' in 'red'.
Both mean 'face'. صورت (soorat) is generally more common in everyday conversation. چهره (chehreh) can sometimes emphasize the features, appearance, or even the public persona of a person. Think of it like 'countenance' or 'visage' in English, although it's still very common for just 'face'.
